Not unattractive from the outside (despite the wooden slatted blinds which always look wrong in pubs) the Cock Tavern is nonetheless a rather standard, slightly run-down boozer. It's not often we come across places where we...

Another pub in the longest street market in Europe, this one is very local. If you can ignore the looks when you go in, you should find it a pleasant enough place to go. There's Thai food on offer, as well as a fairly standard...

Drum is the kind of pub people either love or hate. In keeping with some other Wetherspoons in greater London, you will find a male dominated environment, sometimes dipping into with the kind of ambience that accompanies old...
